An analogy is a type of word problem that often appears on standardized tests. It is made up of two word pairs, like this:
GRACEFUL : CLUMSY :: late : _______
Your goal in solving an analogy is to find a word that correctly completes the second pair. At first glance the words in an analogy may seem to have nothing to do with each other, but the words are always logically related. Both pairs of words have the same kind of relationship. To solve the analogy you need to find that relationship. Read the analogy like this:
PUPPY : DOG :: kitten : _______

aphorism is a short answer to the given prompt... sort of like one-sentence definition... while an essay is a full fledged discussion of the question.... both answers the question, but one is small, and other is big.... similar to mouse and elephant... both are mammals, but one is small and other is big
